Abstract:

The objective of this project is to develop a new index of geographic opportunity that improves upon existing measures to analyze the spatial relationship between the location of jobs and populations in urban settings. We develop a job accessibility measure based on Generalized Transit Feed Specification data which can be used to replace measures of actual commute times of workers and linear distance measures of job access to produce better estimates for job accessibility for the most vulnerable populations.
